| In committee Of the whole the memorial
to Congress praying for the donation OF
Fort Ellis reservation excited consider
able discussion. Kennedy moved
to report it adversely. He
thought that it was an underhanded
measure for securing the insane asylum to
Bozeman to the exclusion Of all other
points. Bozeman he did not think proper
site. He would prefer that it should be To-
| Gated near some mineral springs, the
waters of which could be used in the treat
! ment of inmates. Sutherlin moved to
| amend so as to report favorahly. He fav-
ored the memorial because it would secure
to the Territory the land. and the Leeisla-
ture could at any time change the site OF
the asylum.
Collins offered an amendment, striking
out everything relating to an insane hos.
2ital anG insert in it's place agricultural
college," The amendment was lost.
Collins said he had no objection to the
memorial, providing the bill for the insane
hospital could be postponed. 1t provided
that the site should be selected next July
The memorial could not BE- acted upon by
the present Congress, and would not be ef-
fective in time to do any good.
Holiday favored the memorial, and said
that the bill referred to by Collins had not
yet passed the Legislature and might not
do SO. He thought the memorial could do
no harm in any event.
Pardee said the reservation had been Or
dered sold and would be disposed OF next
summer. If the present Congress could
not be reached there was no use of passing
the memorial, as the land viii! be disposed
OF before the next Congress convenes
The original motion prevailed, and the
memorial will be reported favorably.
